An exhilarating mountaineering expedition to Mera Peak (6476m/21,246ft) and Island Peak (6189m/20,305ft), two of the most popular trekking peaks in Nepal, combined with a crossing of the Amphu Labsta.. Mera (6476m/21,246ft) & Island Peak (6189m/20,305ft) are two of the most popular trekking peaks in the Nepal Himalaya and this expedition combines climbs on both mountains with a trek through the remote Honku Valley and a crossing of the spectacular and technical Amphu Laptsa Pass. The generous itinerary ensures proper acclimatisation and we have plenty of contingency days in the event of inclement weather. Being slightly to the south of the main range, Mera offers spectacular views from Kanchenjunga in the east to the Langtang region in the west.
